From the day a girl is born, she dreams of her being a bride one day. No matter how tom-boyish, ambitious, fat, average looking or for that matter a typical feminist she might be ; the hope of finding her dream man who would understand her and love her no matter how she looks or talks or walks, is alive in her heart.
A girl's own wedding is not only about her dream boy or her soul-mate,its also very much about the perfect dress, beautiful jewelry, gorgeous makeup and her breathtaking darker than the darkest "mehendi" laden hands. With all these things in her mind, a girl dreams of all the moments she will spend during that one beautiful day of her life. In her mind, she has rehearsed all events of that day so many times, pictured her different bridal looks and finally also chosen the one look she wants.
And as the days passed and countdown came to an end, one day before the wedding, she dreamed as to how she is walking all dressed the way she had pictured herself. All eyes are stuck on her and everybody around her is awestruck with her beauty. She can hear the whispers and murmurs of admiration around her. And then she sees her man waiting for her with his eyes twinkling and his hand out to hold hers. She gives her hand in his and can feel the trembling of nervousness.
That one moment has come, the moment she waited for so long, the moment she pictured till now. She knows inside that all this is a dream which is about to come true. With loved ones around she takes the seven vows of togetherness with him and promises to be there for him always. She knows that now she belongs to someone; someone she is madly in love with.
That moment her eyes open and she realizes it wasn't a dream she thought she was dreaming. It was that one day of her life she had always dreamed of , that one day which she had rehearsed infinite times, that one most precious day of life ...which just went by in a wink.
P.S. That is actually how I felt after few days of my wedding. The day went by too fast. Wish it could have been little slow in its pace.
